I get the feeling that I should really be titling this post “The Trials and Tribulations of Automating My Linkdumps”. But now that I’ve set the tone… For those unfamiliar with Del.icio.us 1, it’s a social bookmarking app (and a Yahoo! property) that allows you to keep your bookmarks all online, in one place, and […]
WordPress 2.3 upgrade here at F_D is … well, it’s more-or-less complete. The Extended Live Archive plug-in had some compatibility issues so it was discarded for the simple and effective “Compact Monthly Archive” plug-in. At least for now. At least until I can roll-my-own archives plug-in 1. On the flip of that, switching to the […]
F_D in transit to WordPress 2.3… Plugging in the new native tagging API was a snap (10 minutes max). There’s a built-in migrator for existing Ultimate Tag Warrior tags (bonus) so getting this rolled out to the live environment should will go nice and smooth. The bummer part is with the “conflict” reported on the […]
K2 More of a skin framework for WordPress than a skin in and of itself… A follow-up to the classic Kubrick design; makes good use of ajax and is generally pretty snappy. (tags: K2 ajax blog framework wordpress)
Updated WordPress to version 2.1 this weekend and performed some other assorted maintenance.

Earlier today we embarked on a little upgrade here at F_D. We ditched our old Kubrick bastardization (nee “Mario”) and upgraded the front-end to use the next-gen, deliciously AJAX-y K2 framework. From there, we installed a slew of supporting plug-ins and tweaked the look-and-feel until we had achieved an approximation of our wireframe from yesterday. We have dubbed […]
When we last saw our hero, he was pondering the question: “How do I teach web publication to a scientist and/or university professor? Someone who is obviously smart but also technologically UN-savvy?” It is a tough question. As we previously discussed, the question is not just “how do I most easily make an HTML document?” […]
Early Saturday a.m. post… Trimming down the links in the sidebar; feels too much like clutter. Instead, thinking of just dumping links into del.icio.us and then install one of the myriad plug-ins for WordPress to add support for them. *shrug* A. has released my inner-chucker – – especially considering the up-coming move. ALSO: Realized last night […]
